Standings Thru Friday, August 31 (3:15 PM)

Strangely dead week or so around the Derby: very few points were added by anyone. Things continue to tighten up, though, with just a point and a half separating 1st from 3rd. It could be a wild September.


1) (1) Bill: Cabrera (HR) 32; Uggla (HR) 16; Cabrera (RBI) 107 [53.5] = 101.5

Is it possible to win with  one of your HR guys putting out less than 20? Bill's boys might very well prove that it is.


2) (2) Rob: Fielder (HR) 23; Granderson (HR) 33; Pujols (RBI) 90 [45] = 101

Better balance here than with Bill, but still not a enough HRs from Fielder. Can the Rawhide Raconteur's guys overcome Cabrera's RBIs?


3) (3) Kevin: Beltran (HR) 28; Jones (HR) 26; Gonzalez (RBI) 92 [46] = 100

Kevin's replacement HR guys are still treading water. Gonzo's L.A. move might pay off - his RBI numbers are finally looking like they should. The R.R. still thinks this could be the team to beat.


4) (4) Eric: Trumbo (HR) 30; Pena (HR) 16; Fielder (RBI) 93 [46.5] = 92.5

Trumbo's strange and comprehensive late-season face plant might have taken these guys out of it; 8.5 points is starting to look like a lot of ground to make up so deep into things. Still, Trumbo's so explosive when he's on that it would foolish to count these guys out. 


5) (5) Vic: Pujols (HR) 29; Reynolds (HR) 12; Texiera (RBI) 81 [40.5] = 81.5

Vic's slow climb to respectability might have stalled. Still 4th is a possibility. A big September by this whole squad is probably necessary for them to go any higher.


6) (6) Bonnie: Braun (HR) 36; Konerko (HR) 21; Nieuwenhuis (RBI) 28 [14] = 71

This team is the real tragedy of the league. If Kemp had stayed healthy they might be running away with things. Power Derby can be a harsh mistress ...


7) (7) Mark: Texiera (HR) 23; Utley (HR) 9; Jeter (RBI) 45 [22.5] = 54.5

Still a slight shot here of getting out of the cellar, but it's looking grim. I think the CHUDS will eventually get Mark in the end.
